IJ-I would like to recap for the voting on two items the continued relationship and membership for IMHCA and I would like the rest of you have the opportunity to vote or ask questions and about the conference date Discussion 3: IMHCA membership voting outcomes Steph-in support of staying with IMHCA Sam- in support in staying Lynn arrived at 2:15pm Lynn-in support of staying with IMHCA too- IJ-motion to pass the vote to stay with IMHCA will cost $750 per year and suggestion to raise the membership fees for more title protection and advocacy in IL --motion to raise local chapter fee to $5-10 to pay for IMHCA partially or sending people to the capitol Steph-in support-if we are approve staying with IMHCA I will go ahead and pay the bill for this year Sam-raising fee and get a little blurb about our fees are raising and why and what its for Meredith- IJ-not set in stone need to talk to headquarter need to ease the budget and if you think its too expensive that s ok too i m in early stage Steph-in support. I am going to have to move and transfer from savings into checking we do not want to have the money run out. Currently we have $1,000 in checking and I will need to transfer some of our savings into checking to cover the cost of IMHCA. Savings we have about $20,000 IJ- in the past every year we lose about 3-4,000$ on conference we need to find a way to increase our revenue to be able to pay for IMHCA --does anyone have any other ideas about how to raise revenue for IATA and staying with IMHCA? Ok, I am going to reach out to AATA about how we can raise our funds for the relationship with IMHCA Discussion 2: Conference date voting outcomes IJ- second is the conference date, so I will go through our s and tally up the votes right now IJ- 4 votes for feb 9th and 1 vote for the 15th Steph-good with either date Meredith- either is fine with me Ben-I think both are fine--yes either is fine IJ- requesting that all board members attend the preparations for the conference and the conference

3 Caroline-ITA s conference is usually the following month so I think we should spread out the conferences as far apart as possible IJ- ITA wants to collaborate with us on the conference..would you reach out to see in what capacity ITA would like to collaborate with us? Caroline-talked with Jeff the music therapist who does a lot of stuff and interested in collaborate on space so I will follow up with Marney as well IJ- I will include you and forward the IJ- motion at 2:25pm to have annual conference on Feb 9th Meredith and Caroline second this Discussion 4: Conference -we talked a little bit about it last month-stick to art and artist identity and bringing in artist and making art -IJ I am available to support you when you need it -Caroline- I wanted to reach out to you to get a blurb about conference and dates -Sam-I can put dates on the website now and wondering how fast we can get any graphics -Caroline-I can get graphics together within a week or so -Sam great lets put it up on the web site in the next week Discussion 5: title protection vs state specific licensure -Lynne- updates-i am in the car so let me go through some s- heard back from Daniel the IMHCA who got back to us--he said he was super aware of the bill and they have been working hard to get LCPC s added to medicaid and shared the link about where it got penned down due to costs--we are working on getting it passed next year--keep us updated in support and let us know how we can help--i can follow up and share dates maybe put together a group to go down or some language to have signed and moved on that -IJ- I am not clear on this bill-medicaid billing LCPC can no longer bill medicaid -Lynn- LCPC cannot bill medicaid in a public school system but social workers can bill -IJ- how does school counseling survive? -Lynn school counseling is a separate field aside from LCPC -IJ- so school based art therapist must have the dual licensure in school counseling certificate and license and also have the LCPC--is everyone aware of this issue--billing ability being cut for art therapist in southern IL and a position is being cut-- so we reached out to IMHCA and were discussing this the past meeting--lynn is IMHCA taking this on next year as part of their agenda or more like they are looking into it-- Lynn- no they are taking this up again this year but I can ask him how we can advocate and support this IJ-I think this is a good idea because we have two art therapist that are highly motivated to go to the capital or do whatever it takes to assist in making these positions billable Lynn- I did finish the first draft of the google form survey to survey our members where there working what they are doing and advocating for title protection and or license state specific and once you gave me your feedback i wanted to send it to AATA to see if the language is appropriate IJ-posted on go to meetings the survey statement--i wanted to bring this to the board to see what you all think about this--i think lynn did a really good job but I still wanted to know your feedback--survey description read out loud--link goes to AATA page with lots of great information--purpose of licensure--to protect public and protect others from practicing without specific training--please read and when ready i will scroll down

4 -steph ready for scroll down -survey reviewed on go to meetings -Sam this looks good like this survey -steph looks great -meredith-great job -ben looks good -becca looks good -IJ reason i like it it s very clear--i do think we should talk about how we are protecting our field and what kind of advocacy and maybe decide for ttle protection but not independent license. I approve this survey and I would have Lynn reach out to AATA and IMHCA -steph second that -All in agreement at 2:40pm IJ- how much time you need to get this ready to send to members--i would like to send all info together for members Lynn-i can AATA and IMHCA today and get back to you when I get all that info IJ-i would like to send all at once conference town hall and your survey Lynn-assuming i get all the info i can sam assuming that i would get all the info this week i can give an update Sam- yeah just send me what you need and i can blast our members Steph- i have a little update from my conversation with Loreza--Lynn and i met to talk about how to move forward and remember when Loreza pushed for licensure and reached out to her to see what had happened--had the verbage written and approved and worked with Dan from IMHCA and had a state rep and fell through bc ost schools were not in support of this state specific licensure. If we want to move forward we need to rally all the 3 schools. IN the GAC there should have all the groundwork in IJ . She does not want to be a part of this but can be of support and connect to state rep if we want to move forward. IJ- people are pretty silent currently does anyone have any feedback Sam- because back and forth maybe counting for radio silence- IJ-different opinions please use chat room Lynn-I will keep you all updated about info and chat with steph Steph- i have notes from my discussion with Loreza as well Lynn-ill check in with notes later Discussion 6: Town Hall Meeting updates -Ben-basically laid out agenda and plan of execution and now we need to let others know -Ben not sure how to use go to meetings beyond clicking on link and maybe need to set up a 1:1 with you IJ and I also have a blurb that i can share into document so that we can share document--invitation to town hall meeting information blurb--agenda--i can share outward--we are looking forward to the town hall meeting IJ-blurb looks fine to me sam? Sam-looks great and i can make an event on facebook so people can RSVP and add to calendars Steph- typo?

5 Ben aim for 23rd and will see if it works for Jen IJ- motion to prove town hall activities Steph--sounds good but i think we should give people enough time to respond and mark calendars IJ- I do not think any board members besides Ben and Jen at the town hall meeting because I want it to be a safe space for all to speak freely--is that ok you and Jen and Ben or attend individually but not represent as the board Ben-we were planning on that-- IJ-maybe say a disclaimer about letting people monitor conversation no one is representing what AATA or IATA thinks Ben- yes IJ- a month out start town hall meeting Sam- yeah lets get it out asap IJ- i retract my motion can we use in the language that all are welcome in some way Ben-i will figure out how to put that more clearly IJ-regardless of membership or relationship with administration Ben- i will add that and i don t mind sending agenda to all board members IJ- we can send out survey teasers who voted not what they voted for sharing areas who participated and fine tune language Ben-sounds good IJ- more info so that they feel like they want to engage IJ- motion ethics and multicultural move forward to town hall meeting Steph second All in agreement Steph-really excited about this town hall bc maybe we can lure people back to IATA IJ-ben and jen you are doing a really great job--interested in inviting everyone back to community Discussion 7: Julie student liason -trying to learn about organization-trying to get any kind of conference or workshop -Caroline- hi julie welcome- we had to change the conference dates because of AATA and there is a conference at SAIC in sept and we will have our large conference feb the 9th -Julie- got your on facebook -Caroline- if you would like to be a volunteer to help with the conference -Julie when do you start doing all the prep work for conference -caroline now and you can my personal as well -IJ thank you so much for joining us -Julie thanks this is all new -IJ- we need board members and volunteer etc -Julie- I want to do workshops and volunteering and thats why i am doing part time classes -IJ i just want you to know we are recording info and speak up and state your name--also we do not have a great relationship with mary in the woods to say that we want to get connected with students and faculty -julie-yes thats been a problem for us i will caroline Discussion 8: program updates -steph-storage unit- i ed Becca and sarah and I am going to go ahead and sign us up for a cheaper unit in bridgeport and they will take the rest of stuff so still communicating about that

6 -IJ- file both annual report and change of registration to IL state and annual report that needs to be sent before september and already in place--also suggestion for next board next year to decrease meeting time over the summer? Just put it in your mind to start thinking about it -Steph-yeah i have been thinking about this a lot but it is also hard in the summer so we should see what people think about this--the momentum is important--meet until june or start in august or september-- IJ-hard to keep people coming in the summertime Steph- since our goal to move conference to the spring and might be nice to have a break after because most of us is burnt out after the conference IJ-most people quit the board in the summertime and seems like a season where people get overwhelmed with commitments Steph-makes sense IJ- anything else for agenda for next month--hour and a half should be enough very efficient and any feedback and efficient with communication and i would look into things we said we would do Motion to close meeting at 3:07pm Next board meeting will be on the 16th of sept Steph second All in agreement
